Robe light up the circus in Sweden

Paul Milligan, June 4, 2013

Sweden’s contemporary circus company Cirkus Cirkör is using Robe MMX Spots and LEDWash moving lights for its current tour, called Knitting Peace. Cirkus Cirkör mixes elements from street theatre, theatre, dance and film into its shows.

Robe for Cirkus Cirkor ‘Knitting Peace’

Lighting for Knitting Peace includes five of Robe’s new MMX Spots and 16 LEDWash 600s, specified for this show by Cirkus Cirkör’s technical producer, Stefan Karlström.

The Robes are currently the only lights on the show. They are rigged on to the custom trussing structure – which is also used by the performers and for various props – with some units placed in the floor. This enables Cirkus Cirkör to be completely self-sufficient.

Its crew can arrive at any venue or performance space and the show and technical areas will run in exactly the same way each time.
